coin jar there is a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters which totals $4.05.
\n" ); document.write( " There are twice as many quarters as nickels and 8 more dimes than nickels.
\n" ); document.write( " How many coins of each kind are there?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let n = no.of nickel
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = no. of dimes
\n" ); document.write( "let q = no. of quarters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"coin jar there is a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters which totals $4.05.\"
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10d + .25q = 4.05
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"There are twice as many quarters as nickels\"
\n" ); document.write( "q = 2n
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"and 8 more dimes than nickels.\"
\n" ); document.write( "d = (n+8)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the 1st equation, replace q with 2n, replace d with (n+8)
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10(n+8) + .25(2n) = 4.05
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10n + .8 + .50n = 4.05
\n" ); document.write( ".05n + .10n + .50n = 4.05 - 80
\n" ); document.write( ".65n = 3.25
\n" ); document.write( "n = \"3.25%2F.65\"
\n" ); document.write( "n = 5 nickels
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find d and q, check solutions in the total$ equation.\r
